Auth with Github

I'm trying to follow these instructions to get Github auth going so I can use git into a private repo (please correct me, if this isn't what it is meant for): https://coder.com/docs/admin/external-auth#configure-a-github-oauth-app However, when I add the code similar to what the instructions offer in my workspace template:

data "coder_external_auth" "github" {
   id = "primary-github"
}

data "coder_external_auth" "github" {
   id = "primary-github"
}

I get this error from the template push.

🤔 Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? Scott

hey @Scott, which version of the Coder provider are you running?

ScottOP•2w ago

You mean the Coder server? If yes, it's the latest. Ahh... Provider. Hmm.. wait. Oof. 🤦🏻‍♂️ It's very old. I'll update tomorrow and yeah, that is more than likely the problem. Thanks once more @Phorcys

Phorcys•2w ago

yeah that makes sense you'll probably have to edit your template as we have deprecated some of the resources mainly this -> https://discord.com/channels/747933592273027093/1313784155561000961/1314263213227118604

Ok. I got everything fixed, sort of. Using Git in VSCode to push to origin always requests a password entry. Do you by chance know how to fix that? It seems to be the Coder extension calling for the password. I can do the same git command in the terminal and everything works as expected. I fixed the issue with the password via git config credential.helper store, even though I'm not storing anything in it, it seems something with VSCode and the Coder extension needs it to be there so the password isn't requested. 🤷🏻

pretty weird but good to know, thanks!
